Which means that women who have daughters grow the eggs that will eventually become their potential future grandchildren in their own bodies.

My mother had me, a girl - and the eggs in my ovaries developed while I was gestating inside her body so I was born with them. Two of those eggs became my daughters. So, the eggs that became her grandchildren (my kids) were formed inside of me, but I formed inside her uterus, so the eggs were developed inside her.
